As we enter into May, I am gearing up for a jam-packed month filled with local and community interactions, the Federal Budget, and Parliamentary sitting weeks. With the crisp autumn air lingering, I find myself reflecting on the matters of my constituents, eager to address your concerns and champion your causes within Parliament. May brings with it a sense of renewal and opportunity. Before we enter into the second half of 2024, we are able to pause and reassess our priorities for the remainder of the year. As well as presenting a chance to push forward as we head into the mid quarter of the year. I know people are doing it tough, rent and mortgage increases, electricity, groceries. Since the Albanese Labor Government were elected we have seen sharp increases in the every day cost of living. The Queensland State Government is weak on crime and are not delivering key local infrastructure. I will continue to raise these issues with the State Opposition Leader David Crisafulli and the Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. I am dedicated to serving the people of Petrie, acting with your best interest in mind at all times. With diligence, determination and a deep sense of duty, I look forward to the month of May as an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I am honoured to represent. God bless you all for a bright month ahead.
Joined by Queensland Senator Matt Canavan, it was a wonderful morning at the Mango Hill Coffee Club.
Thank you to everyone who came out to chat with us. I love connecting with Petrie locals.
